A few observations after my first win

[Derakon]

I would like to note that killing street urchins is literally child murder.

Only in the sense that doing anything in a highly-stylized symbolic universe is literally anything.

Also, heroic good guys are routinely portrayed doing horrible things, but it's OK, because they're the hero! I'm pretty sure there's a page on TV Tropes about that.

[Pete Mack]

Well yes. Exactly to the same extent that any monster in the game is or is not evil.
